I was just reading a blog post over on JibberJobber<\/a>. My buddy Jason<\/a>, in his post "My network fell apart<\/strong><\/a>" was talking about statistics for how executives find jobs and the top way wasn’t networking it was recruiters. Just wanted to post a couple of brief thoughts on the issue:<\/p>\n

1) If you don’t have recruiters in your ‘network’ then you aren’t networking correctly<\/strong>. Recruiters can and do help lots of people, employed and unemployed. Even if you have a job, knowing a great recruiter might be a good opportunity for you to help others (as Kent Blumberg<\/a> so astutely noted.)<\/p>\n

2) Recruiters<\/strong> that find you, the ones that you don’t even know, probably found you by networking <\/strong>with folks that they know. It isn’t always cold calls that are the "key" to recruiters finding a great candidate. And great recruiters, well they only make one cold call to a person in their lifetime. After that, they should all be warm calls. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

So next time you are setting up networking goals and adding them to your JibberJobber<\/a> tasks sheet, include finding some great recruiters and strengthening your relationships with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
